Frida Kahlo’s life was far from easy, yet she took as her motto “Viva-La-Vida” (Live Life). This isn’t an easy thing to do. We all have struggles, and many of us become absorbed in those problems. How wonderful it is to know that we can give those troubles over to God. He is the great comforter and he has promised us life without pain forevermore.
Revelation 21:4 “And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.”
Here are some activities to add to your study of Frida Kahlo.
Read:
Frida Kahlo: The Artist who Painted Herself. Written from the viewpoint of a young girl writing a report about their favorite artist, this book is fun and approachable.
Watch:
BrainPop did a great 5 minute short biography on Frida this past week. You can view it here, just sign up for the free trial if you don’t already subscribe.
Color:
The youngest artists might like to color a simple version of Kahlo’s self portrait with birds. And those who enjoy Ms. Kahlo’s more surreal side can color a copy of her Roots painting.
Try it youself:
The obvious project when studying Frida Kahlo is to create your own self portrait, but to be honest, I really like the fun beaded necklaces that Eclectic Chica made during their Frida party.
